Amazon Data Center to Open in U.K. Despite Brexit Uncertainty
Amazon.com’s cloud computing division remains “committed” to opening a London data center by early next year, even after the British public’s vote for the U.K. to leave the EU.
It will also offer local customers the option of hosting data in Germany or Ireland, a company executive said Thursday.
“Demand for all our services is growing across all Europe. For us it’s business as usual,” Stephen Orban, head of enterprise strategy at Amazon Web Services, said in an interview at a customer conference Thursday in Frankfurt.
